Old timer with no phone and limited email has 3 trikes in a barn.
2 have keys and racks.
He just got the place and wants them gone.
I offered more than his best offers so maybe it will work out good.

That's ALL I know and haven't heard back yet.

So do 125's... Well key for sure and electric start on the 125M, some have racks some don't. Otherwise yep, 200/250 big red's of all styles and years had keys and racks. So you could have just about anything, well at least like a half dozen possibilities... LOL

I hope he contacts me.
Don't really care what they are.
A couple sx's with racks would be nice.
2 fit so nicely in in the truck.
No trailer necessary.

Turns out he wants 500 for FIVE trikes, all honda.
"at least 2 have racks and keys, and at least 2 start and run'

Meet at dairyqueen at 2pm.
Cool,
I got there at 1:40 and waited until 3:30.

Even left a note and 5 bucks with the waitress in case he showed up he could use their phone.

2 hr drive and hour and a half waiting.

Home now, watching the weather channel.

oh well,

1987 200x's have a a key, It wouldn't be my first guess but it could be.

welp?

he emailed again this am and wants to tri again at 11am at dairy queen.

I just can't imagine any purpose for him being a goofball.

another 2 hr drive.??

Someone once asked me if I gamble.

Guess I'll flip a coin.

He has no idea what they are so I asked if they are kick or pull start.

That should be easier than asking him to look at the stickers on the headstocks.

Yeah, I even left 5 bucks with the waitress at dairy queen so he could use the phone to call me.

Like you said, it's probably worth it.
Another 30 dollar gas gamble.

I'll keep chanting...keys and racks , keys and racks

Really wish I knew what they are.
Maybe we'll see.

Just go to him. Much easier. I hate meeting people. I hook trailer up and I go. If you want ice cream, you can go thru the drive thru on the way back!:lol: btw don't forget to post :pics:

well, the uncle just died and this guy got the farm.

He's spooked to give strangers the home farm address since he's not always there.

Classic craigslist trick is to meet people somewhere first,
act normal, show the money etc etc.

Too many stories about CL buyers come look around and come back and steal stuff.

The farm phone is disconnected and I actually brought him a tracfone
cell phone. Cost me 20 bucks for 3 months but never got to meet up.
Also brought a few extra hundred dollar bills in case he underestimated.
I just couldn't take 2 sx / es's for 500.

Maybe I'll try it again today.

The trailer is a good idea but not fun on the windy mtn roads.
Might have to be 2 trips and keep it all in the truckbed.

Nice to know that 3ww will even help members with mental problems like this.

GREATly appreciated.

yea i'm startgin to wonder if what he says is true. what if he's planning on stealing them from soenone and then sellign them to soemone else?
may want to post the area at least to give everyone a heads up that it is possible he's a theif. the crap about address and not beign there, is fishy to me. once you said that and the rest of the way he is acing, i knwo first hand, if it smells fishy it is 100% fishy. there's a good chance this is not a lagit deal. if you do meet him with $ never EVER do it alone and make sure your buddy has your back (if ya know what I mean). this guy jsut sounds not right...

EXcellent point.
First trip was to meet at 2pm, at dairyqueen I got there early and stayed an hour and a half.

His email said he was there and I wasn't.
BULLs...
I talked with the waitresses, left them my number, showed them the hundred dollar bills
and that the guys uncle died and they needed $ real bad etc etc.

Then he wanted to meet the next day at noon.
NOON at Dary Queen..
check.
I showed up early and again stayed an hour and a half.
The waitresses even offered me free coffee, gave me the dq phone number and I geve them mine.

Said screw it and drove an hour home to meet my daughter coming down from Canada.

Gave his email to a hog farmer that lives closer and needs trikes for the farm
but also warned him from every angle.

My guess it he was hoping someone would not be home and then
guide me over there to load 'em up.

I'm never late and always confirm multiple times, especially for
a 2 hr trip and wasted time there.

I also offer that people can buy stuff back at the same price when they're hard up for $$.

I bought a twin reverb amp from a kid with a severe addiction and amazingly enough, he called me a year later and asked if he could have it back.

He was a year clean and sober and I was very happy to oblige.

Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks for the comments.

ps -
there was a warning about this stuff not too long ago.

say...65 mustang, good shape, could use paint but everything else works.
3 grand cash.

and then they run you down some dead end street, knock you out and take the cash they know you have.
